A few points that you need to keep in mind to experience hassle free shipping services:

Know the exact weight and dimension of your car.

Beware of Car brokers. Car brokers are not your shipping agent. So, before falling prey to a Car Broker’s shipping “solution” just keep in mind, they don’t have the same experience, insurance and low prices a dedicated shipping company can provide.

There are different types of services available like door- door car transport and terminal to terminal auto shipping. Talk with a shipping company to figure out what works best for you.

The shipping charges vary in accordance to your vehicle size. For example, if you are shipping a SUV or any larger vehicle, you might be charged extra.

If you find the moving company is run by a single driver, partners or husband/ wife teams, do confirm the authorization of the car movers before hiring them for your shipping services.

Hire the company at least 10 days before you need the actual services.
